  Following the support instructions I have copied the webmaster verification code but cannot locate the ‘tools-available tools’ where I have to paste it.

  I have achieved this with another site about two months ago but cannot find the ‘tools’ anywhere.

  Can anyone help please.

  @roystonwood – I see a Google verification code on your site, now so it appears you’ve sorted this out. If you still need assistance, let us know.

  @emmakonnaris – Try going through the Google site verification steps. The code you get from Google and paste into WordPress.com should look like this (but with a different series of characters):

  <meta name="google-site-verification" content="rc2RXSkjV5rz9P2s2hTwdDsnwTu4tD-gmruKUrqBGjs" />

  Thanks. The problem I had was not being able to access my dashboard – there seems to be no link to it but someone sorted me out my letting me know that adding /wp-admin/ to the end of my wordpress url brings it up so have done that and added to favourites so that I can access.

  Thank you for your help.
